In vscode when you step to the next statement it highlights in the left pane the variables that change. Something like that. It's useful for a beginner e.g in a for loop to see how `i` changes at…

ML folks don't care (yes yes I'm generalizing...); They will upgrade whenever torch or one of their other favourite libraries tells them to.

Yep this is what happened in my home city in india as well. Our property which my ancestors purchased for dirt cheap on the outskirts of the city is now smack in the center and valued higher. Populati…

Yep, I had a crap folder for apps too. Until I switched to using T-UI as my launcher. Now I can only ever launch the apps I remember in my head since I need to type it out.

Mostly whatever the earliest version pytorch supports. While 3.9 is supported until the end of this year, torch wheels and other wheels in the ecosystem were always troublesome in 3.9. So 3.10 it is. …

Whatsapp you can tag @meta ai in any chat, have a separate chat with meta ai, forward messages to the meta ai chat for fact checks, etc.

Hmm. Makes sense. Then couldn't the government have tapped into one of those processes, making it clear to everyone that the people that are being deported are illegal (or not) and saved themselv…

Yes... I obviously meant many modded Spotify APKs. I don't know how exactly but there seems to be a way to get around the integrity API.

There are still many modded apks that work. My friends still use them.
